: Masking tape. Remove the tape when the first coat of epoxy, i.e.
: wet-out coat, sets to rubber and not later than next day. If you
: wait too long to remove the masking tape the tape will tear and
: the remaining edge will be firmly epoxied to the boat.

Thank you so much everyone for your advice and support. Raka seems like one stop shopping but West is sold locally(Southern Maine). Better decide quick! I told my wife she needs to heat her cellar...

Dennis, are we masking the entire sheer strip or just the cove?
Thanks, Jim
